I honestly think that this song is about one of the greatest preachers of the gospel, Paul. The Bible speaks of a pharisee named Saul. He made it his sole duty to persecute Christians, going as far as murdering them for their beliefs. He was a fearsome enemy of Christian church. After being granted permission, he set out to Damascus to further persecute more Christians. On the way, ther is bright light that knocks Saul from his horse. Surrounded by this ethereal light, God speaks to him, asking, "why does thou persecute Me?" After that he was blinded for three days and could not eat. There is more to the story than that, but needless to say, after that incident he became a strong believer in Christ and one of the most faithful people to ever live. Oh yeah, and God changed his name to Paul.
I honestly think this song about the three days spent blind. I imagine God showed him exactly what he did to so many people. but he could not recognize the evil in himself. I will try to break down a bit more in another post, but I hope this encourages some people to look into it as well.
